Short Stay Parking

Most people taxi into SEZ; this lot is for quick stops

Short Stay Parking at Seychelles International Airport sits directly next to the main terminal building, about a 5-minute walk from the International entrance. Locals mainly use it for quick pickups, drop-offs, and rental-car handovers rather than leaving a car while they fly to another island or overseas. If you’re renting on Mahe and meeting an agent at the airport, this is the patch of tarmac you’ll deal with.

Rates are simple: SCR 100 per day and SCR 700 for a full week, which is flat-priced and easy to remember. For true short visits of under a day, that SCR 100 works out as a premium over just getting dropped at the curb, but it’s still cheap compared with resort transfer costs. There’s no separate pricing by hour listed, so plan around the daily cap.

The car park sits right beside both the International and Domestic terminal area, so you’re never more than a 5-minute walk from check-in desks or arrivals. No shuttle, no levels, no ticket machines buried three floors up. It functions as a basic short-stay car park rather than a structured long-stay option, matching how small and straightforward SEZ is overall.

Regulars on Reddit say they usually rent a car on Mahe or prebook taxis instead of leaving a private vehicle at the airport, effectively sidestepping any need for long-term parking. With cars coming and going for family pickups and rental returns, expect a steady flow but not big-airport gridlock. Treat this lot as a brief stop, not your all-week storage.

Tip: If you’re handing back a rental car at SEZ, aim to park in Short Stay and give yourself a 10–15 minute buffer on top of the 5-minute walk, so the handover and any paperwork don’t eat into check-in time.
